Delivered on time and the product looks like it did online.
Product looks good but I haven’t used it yet. Reviews are more relevant after a product has been used. I can only submit a review regarding the promptness of the delivery.

The website was easy to navigate
The website was easy to navigate. They didn’t have what I wanted, but I found a suitable alternative. Prompt delivery and excellent aftercare/customer service from Stewart.
Excellent service, will use again. Didn’t give 5 stars because I haven’t used the items I bought so don’t know how well they will perform.

Excellent Product and Great Price
I bought the the Osprey Farpoint Backpack with wheels. I was really impressed the Gap Year Travel Store. It arrived within two days of placing the order, all well packaged etc. It was also considerably cheaper than any other sites apart from one but the reviews were so bad for that site I decided not to risk it!

Great piece of kit just hope it’s big enough…
Excellent service and packaging from Gap Year Travel, the osprey bag arrived promptly and earlier in the week than stated. However, great communication from both distribution and delivery so we knew it was on its way and when to expect it.

Good communication with the delivery…
Good communication with the delivery team, as they did not deliver to Jersey, but they did help with delivery to another agent who could then bring them to Jersey.
